Paul Anthony Buchner

Paul Buchner, age 65, resident of Wilmington Island, Georgia passed away peacefully at home Saturday, November 23, 2024 after a fierce and courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family and his four-legged best friend Charlee. 

Paul is preceded in death by his loving parents Richard & Anne Buchner, his brother Jimmy and sister Carol. He is survived by his devoted wife of 25 years, Kimberly Buchner, his brother Richard Buchner Jr (Pug), his Mother-in-Law Jane, his children Sean (Meagan), Corey (Amy), Shannon(Zach) Jayme (Jacob) & Elizabeth (Josh). His grandchildren Savannah, Sean Jr, Tristan, Jackson, Brian, Titan, Tucker, JJ, Casper, Skyler, Zane. He was also blessed with a number of nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members and dear friends who were deeply touched by his kindness, generosity, and unshakable spirit.

Pillar of the family, Paul was the King of Dad Jokes, Jeapordy Wiz, and the man with 9 Lives, he approached life with unmatched determination and resilience. Whether facing life’s trials or cherishing its joys, he never wavered in his strength and positivity. His greatest gift was his family, whom he loved and supported unconditionally. 

Paul found joy in spending time on the water, whether it be crabbing, shark-tooth hunting, visiting local sand bars or just “putzing” around. It was simple moments shared on his boat named “Yes Dear” where he found true bliss. Paul was a constant source of strength, wisdom, and inspiration to everyone around him.

Paul’s legacy of love, courage, and integrity will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.

As we honor Paul’s life, we reflect on the comfort and hope found in the words of the Lord’s Prayer:

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.”

A celebration of Paul’s life will be held December 7, 2024 at the Tybee Light Shrine Club from 3-6 pm. 

Where we will share laughter, memories and cheeseburgers in Paradise with a sunset toast to Paul because it’s 5 O’clock somewhere. 

**Please bring an appetizer or covered dish, cash bar will be available. 

Low Country Cremation and Burial has the honor to serve the Buchner family.
